Anti-Theft Protection - Jeep CHEROKEE 2017 User Manual

Anti-theft Protection

The system is equipped with an anti-theft
protection system based on the exchange of
information with the electronic control unit
(Body Computer) on the vehicle.
This guarantees maximum safety and pre-
vents the secret code from being entered
after the power supply has been discon-
nected.
If the check has a positive outcome, the
system will start to operate, whereas if the
comparison codes are not the same or if the
electronic control unit (Body Computer) is
replaced, the system will ask the user to enter
the secret code according to the procedure
described in the paragraph below.
Entering The Secret Code
When the system is switched on, if the code is
requested, the display will show "Please En-
ter Anti-Theft Code" followed by the screen
showing a keypad to enter the secret code.
The secret code has four numbers from zero
to nine: to insert the code numbers, rotate the
BROWSE/ENTER dial and press to confirm.
After entering the fourth number the system
will start functioning.
If an incorrect code is entered, the system
displays "Incorrect Code" to notify the user of
the need to enter the correct code.
After the three available attempts to enter the
code, the system displays "Incorrect Code.
Radio locked. Wait for 30 minutes". After the
text has disappeared it is possible to start the
code entering procedure again.
Vehicle Radio Passport
This document certifies ownership of the sys-
tem. The vehicle radio passport shows the
system model, serial number and secret
code.
In case you lose the radio passport, please go
to Jeep Assistance Network with an ID and
the vehicle papers.
Keep the vehicle radio passport in a safe place
so that you can give the information to the
relevant authorities if the system is stolen.
